MSG in this, HFCS in that, etc

Is there a list out there that lists foods that contain HFCS, MSG and other harmful chemicals?

I noticed when I went to the store I started to read labels and I found out that most of the snacks that I ate are full of MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) and High Fructose Corn Syrup. In fact, I had to look through half a bread shelf in the supermarket before I could find a bread free of HFCS, which also happened to be a local, organic brand.

It's getting ridiculous. I've already determined what I feel I cannot eat anymore and it's a slow process but hopefully I'll document what I find and what I need to avoid and hopefully find alternatives. This could be the start of a good thing.

But seriously, this is ridiculous. Both additives should be banned by the FDA. I don't care if the corn industry goes bankrupt as a result. HFCS does NOT need to be in bread or anything for that matter.
